accordance with the cost recovery model agreed to by the Transport and Infrastructure Council. They also amend the information required to be provided by a rail transport operator to monthly rather than some monthly and some annually.

The Rail Safety National Law National Regulations (Miscellaneous) Variation Regulations 2017 increase the application fee for applications for accreditation where the operation is a complex operation. They also introduce a major project fee designed to ensure that regulatory oversight of operations can be properly maintained as the number of major rail projects in Australia increases.

The Rail Safety National Law National Regulations (Queensland Fatigue Provisions) Variation Regulations 2017 facilitated Queensland's adoption of the Rail Safety National Law from 1 July 2017 by including specific fatigue provisions for Queensland. These amendments maintained the provisions in place in Queensland before it adopted the rail safety national law. This approach was taken with New South Wales when it adopted the rail safety national law. Inclusion of these provisions in the rail safety national law national regulations allows all provisions relating to fatigue nationally to be in one piece of legislation. Explanatory statements have been prepared for each of the regulations I am tabling.
